a sea of blue

this is the back yard of the historic governor john langdon house in portsmouth, nh.

every year at this time i have to stop by and soak in the beauty of the sea of blooming scilla! this is how i want my yard to look!! i'll be lucky if i ever live that long!

scilla time!

i pulled a bunch of fabrics for a new quilt i'm thinking about. i'm not sure what pattern i'm going to use for this one. i have always been a big fan of the 4" square. just random 4" squares. i don't like a quilt to be too matchy. but i'm thinking about finding a different design...we'll see. i may just stick with my squares!

we went for a walk yesterday and came upon a beautiful patch of scilla, which is one of my favorite flowers! when we bought our house, one of the first things i did was plant about a million scilla bulbs hoping to have a yard covered with them, eventually. i'm thinking that "eventually" is actually decades. decades and decades. it's so nice to see huge patches of them, and i know of a couple.

enjoy your sunday!
